Debunking Common Myths

 

Myth 1: Engineered hardwood is fake wood.
It’s not. These are real hardwood top layers on a stable base. It looks and feels like solid wood.

Myth 2: You can’t refinish engineered floors.
Most high-quality engineered floors, including these, can be lightly refinished depending on the wear layer thickness.

Myth 3: Wide planks are harder to maintain.
Not true. They’re just as easy to clean, and fewer seams make sweeping faster.

Myth 4: You need professional installation only.
While that’s best, these products can be floated, glued, or stapled—giving flexibility for skilled DIYers.
